Bayport Zambia: Hatching a plan for Success

Obby Mwelwa is a school teacher in Luanshya, where he lives with his wife and their five children. When their last child was born, they decided they needed additional income to support their family.

Together Obby and his wife, Lyness, applied for a loan from Bayport Financial Services to buy 50 chickens to start a chicken farming business. Their business has grown in leaps and bounds and they have increased their stock to more than 400 chickens.

The business has been so profitable that it not only generates enough income to pay the schools fees for their children, but it has also enabled them to refurbish their home.
